……………………..A new Pink………………….mix Pale Pink and Peach…..and you get PEACH PARFAIT….a very flattering color that gives you an instant blush……..The navy slim pant, A265615 is a natural with the Peach Parfait. The GREY slim pant gives a softer look…….A navy pencil skirt, either my Moss Crepe or WK will give you a dressier look…..appropriate for any occasion….The necklace is from my Anne Klein archives, but you never know…….It may show up on the Linea Jewelry line someday……Do you like it?………Spring is almost here……All of the special Spring occasions, like Easter, require something special to wear. This may be just the answer…………………………..enjoy………..much love…………….Louis

…………………………I have had many requests over the years, but one that keeps coming up frequently is a COTTON SLEEVELESS SHIRT!…………..I have presented one almost every season to the buyers, and have explained that this IS a strong customer request. This season they finally said YES……………..A287743, is the style number of my new SLEEVELESS “WING” COLLAR SHIRT, and I think it’s PERFECT!…………First, it is made in my SIGNATURE FINE TWILL STRETCH COTTON. It has PRINCESS SEAMS for a body skimming fit. It also has a curved bottom which I believe gives a slimming effect…..The armhole is bra friendly, and it’s neither too high nor to low……….What I love most about the shirt is the WING COLLAR. This is a collar that works with everything. It works perfectly with cardigans, all sorts of jackets, V-neck sweaters and dresses, vests….etc. etc. etc……It also is a collar that works with many style necklaces…..from the LONG GOLD STATION CROSSES above, J270119, [now only avail in the goldtone as shown], to all kinds of TORSADES like the MARDI GRAS necklace that has already sold out……….Really, how useful is a sleeveless shirt?……….IMHO…..very……It goes without saying that there is nothing cooler in the heat and humidity of the summer than a cotton sleeveless shirt! However, for all of the other seasons it is the PERFECT LAYERING PIECE…………If you always feel uncomfortable wearing TWO sets of sleeves, and you feel like a stuffed sausage because the jacket or cardigan sleeve doesn’t accommodate the shirt sleeve….then this is you answer. If you are wearing a short or 3/4 sleeve jacket or cardigan, and you don’t like the look of a long sleeved shirt hanging out….then this is your answer!……There are endless ways to wear this sleeveless shirt. The WING COLLAR just makes the “look” sharper, cleaner, and brings all the attention to the face. It’s the perfect FACE FRAMER…………………..How many do you want in……..WHITE??????!!!!!. I think at the very least TWO, and you know it will be the first color to sell out. I know you will probably want one of each of the other colors too……..The WHITE shirt worn with the new LONG BLACK WK ENR CARDIGAN, A287608, and a pair of white jeans or dress pants can become your Spring/Summer uniform, not to mention being the chicest woman in the room………Want to keep cool? Pair it with you boho skirts…..solid or print….anyone will do. Of course the WHITE shirt with the BLACK Boho can vie for the chicest woman in the room too! Wear it with a fabulous wedge like the Marc Fisher banded black suede espadrille, A274290….some glamour black sunglasses….a large black or  straw tote and off you go…..looking hot, but staying cool!……..Ladies you wanted the shirt and now you have it!…………..IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!!!!!! I will be showing this shirt for the very first time next Saturday……MARCH 11th, on AM STYLE. It will probably be posted on the night of the 10th so be on the look out………………………..enjoy………………….much Love…………………..Louis

……………………………I have already shown this DAFFODIL SLEEVELESS WING COLLAR SHIRT, A287743, several times on the models, and that’s when you first got the inkling that the shirt was coming…………This yellow is a terrific WEARABLE color that works with so many things……..Any color pants, crops, Carpris, shorts or skorts with work with Daffodil…….White, ivory, tan, chino, natural linen, navy, brown, olive, sage, grey, and black are just some of the neutrals colors you can wear with it. Don’t be afraid to mix your fabulous summer bottom colors with the daffodil either. All of your Boho skirts and ALL of the NEW FLORAL BOHO skirts, A287620, work wonderfully with the Daffodil shirt……The possibilities are endless!…..See how the WING COLLAR works well with all of the new Linea Necklaces. I have the Mardi Grass necklace on its’ longest length and it’s just perfect……………Something to consider when wearing brighter colors in the summer is this……….The sun is brighter and stronger, and the hours of daylight are longer….The light is different in the summer then anyother time of year…….so brighter colors don’t look quite as bright in the blazing sunshine……That’s a fact…………..Daffodil is a cheery, happy color, that I know you will enjoy wearing…..maybe even more that you thought!……………………….enjoy…………………..much Love…………………………Louis

……………………Aqua….is one of my most favorite colors. If you have been listening to me over the years you can guess why…………..It always brings me right back to the Caribbean waters! It is a cool, relaxing, refreshing color……….It could even be called ROBIN’S EGG BLUE……….I love it looking very urban with the BLACK SLIM PANT, A265615, and the BLACK BARREL BEAD NECKLACE and EARRING SET, J329558, which for me is the perfect Black necklace…..Add a black cardi or jacket and you are ready for the office, church, a more casual special event, or a dinner out……..The BLACK FLORAL BOHO SKIRT, A287620, with the AQUA shirt is looking very island ready. I can close my eyes and feel the breezes…..hear the waves lapping on the shore……. and hear the island music in the air……I’m ready….let’s go……………………..enjoy………………..much Love…………………….Louis

……………………………This is a soft PINK……a shell pink or Bermuda pink……It is a warm pink………….It too looks great with the black floral boho skirt, but just worn with a vintage Linea white cardigan and the Linea Leisure white pant is just an elegant and comfortable way of being………….The White WATERFALL NECKLACE and EARRING, J321804, sets it off beautifully. White jewelry isn’t easy to find and much of it has a very “old” look. The white drop beads combined with the gold curb link chain is very modern, and gives just the right message………..Remember, I will be presenting this shirt on Sat. AM Style, March 11th,…………………………………….enjoy……………………………much Love…………………………..Louis
